Our weekend

We had a really busy weekend!! It didn't start off very well.
Ryder had to go to the vet on Friday morning. He was a very
naughty boy. He likes to lick his "nether region."
Well, he licked it so much that he made it raw and scabby.
The food people were not happy with Ryder.
He has to wear a cone or else he has to wear this underwear.
He looks ridiculous and he is humiliated.
I keep telling him it's his own fault.

Saturday night, the food people had a party. I LOVE when
the food people have parties. That means I got lots of
pets and extra snacks. I also got beer too.
(The food people had too many cocktails, so they didn't take any pics at the party.)
Almost all of my agility fans were there too and some new fans.
It was lots of fun. I was really tired. Everyone at the party
kept hollering at Ryder when he was naughty.
He did get a lot of ice cubes though. So he was pleased.
Then on Sunday, we went to my Aunt Kathleen's house.
Ryder's brother Ernie, lives with Aunt Kathleen.
She has a HUGE yard and there was a lot of mud.
We were all very happy. She took lots of pictures of us.
Here is Ryder and Ernie. Ernie is very funny.
He made the food people laugh a lot.
I will tell you why in a bit.
Ernie and Ryder spent a lot of time chasing me.
I know they just wanted my Cuz.
Aunt Kathleen put this awesome pool in the yard too.
I love lounging in the pool.
Do you notice I am giving Ernie the stink-eye?
Ernie really liked me for some reason.
He wouldn't leave me alone.
He really wanted to get in the pool with me.
More stink-eye at Ernie.
I also noticed that Ernie makes a lot of noise.
I thought Ryder made a lot of noise with his squealing, but Ernie
takes the cake. He grunts and snorts and squeals.
This is Ernie's big sister, Snickers. She wanted no part in
our games. She did bark a lot at her neighbors though.
They were kind of scary.

The yard got really muddy. You guys all know how I love
the mud. I rolled in it and ate it and made a huge mess.
The food people were not pleased with how dirty we all were.
Aunt Kathleen called this picture "Garden Weasel."
I really enjoyed running around the yard and flower beds.
I also enjoyed rolling in the mulch, the mud and the grass
(Notice who is right there? Yes, ERNIE!)

Fergus, you are so polite in describing Ryder's condition...

Don't worry about Ernie. He only follows you around because he looks up to you. And who could blame him?

Your dogs are spoiled rotten. If anyone deserves to have dogs it is Katie and Andy. Your dogs always look so happy and well cared for. Our dogs should be treated like royalty. They are like our kids. Both your dogs are lucky to have such amazing food people. When I die I want to be reincarnated as one of Andy and Katie's golden retrievers.
